Each item below shows how the 574 asset managers that disclosed a BIO-TECHNE CORP. vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of BIO-TECHNE CORP.’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.

Fund voting reports and institutional-manager reports both cover this item. An institutional manager can report shares that a fund it advises also reports, so the two are shown separately below and never added together, and their sum is not shown (fund and manager reports combined may count the same shares twice). The figure above is FOR ÷ (FOR + AGAINST + WITHHELD) of the shares these managers voted; abstained and unvoted shares are in neither half, and these managers are a subset of all shareholders, not the meeting result.

Percentages above are of 158,354,579 shares outstanding, as reported by BIO-TECHNE CORP. on its Form 10-Q dated September 30, 2023 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2023-2024 meeting, not today’s. Each holding is as of its own filing, which may be dated before or after the meeting.
Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered funds disclose how they voted every proxy and institutional managers disclose their votes on executive pay (say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and golden parachutes), and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. Shares outstanding are taken from BIO-TECHNE CORP.’s 10-Q dated September 30, 2023. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 18, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.
At BIO-TECHNE CORP.'s shareholder meeting held October 26, 2023, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 574 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 9,959 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 14 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. On the most widely held item on that ballot — APPROVE, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, THE COMPENSATION OF OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. — BIO-TECHNE CORP.'s filing reports the proposal as not approved, with 35% support of the votes cast (FOR divided by FOR plus AGAINST, the conventional basis for proxy support; abstentions, broker non-votes and unvoted shares are excluded because none of them took a side). Source: BIO-TECHNE CORP.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2023.
